If you had 5 fights to recommend...

Pascal - Froch was pretty good as well

 

i dunno...i always bow to the superior knowledge of classic forum posters, and this 5 will change every hour if i think about...just of the top of my head..

marciano v charles 1
frazier v quarry 1
michael gomez v alex arthur
lupe pintor v wilfredo gomez
hagler v mugabi



edit : afterthought....duran v barkley

 

If Berto-Ortiz is getting a mention then Khan-Maidana deserves a shout too.

 

If you're trying to convince a novice, you're better to pick 5 fights that demonstrate 5 different sides to boxing, rather than five Gatti v Ward style fights. My suggestions do that. Hope they were of some value.

 

Surprised nobody has said Vargas-Trinidad yet.

 

or.....

Bowe / Holyfield

 

or.....

hopkins v pavlik
watson v benn
moore v durelle
bernard dunne v recardo cordoba
mike dokes v mike weaver 2
